The newest art concepts were presented to the Georgia World Congress Center Authority Board of Directors on Tuesday and the stadium will now move into the "schematic design" phase as the stadium's look starts to become more of a reality. Here are some of the most recent images...

Falcons mini-camp started today so we do have a bit of news coming out of Flowery Branch in what has been a pretty non-news worthy last few weeks. Here is some of the stuff that's going on in Falcons land...

Falcons Sign TE

The Falcons have waived TE Anthony Miller and have signed Colin Cloherty. Not the huge free agency signing that you were probably looking for but the Falcons continue to take looks at different TEs with Tony Gonzalez's impending retirement at the end of the year. Cloherty has been on Indianapolis, San Francisco and Jacksonville over the last four years and has five career receptions with four of them coming in the 2011 season for the Jaguars. He could stick because of his ability to play special teams but I probably wouldn't wager any money on it.

The Young Corners are making an impression

Daniel Cox has a piece over at AtlantaFalcons.com about the rookie corners making their mark early. Cox states that the young corners, Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford, performed well against the top duo of wide receivers in the league, Julio Jones and Roddy White. The youngsters are definitely bringing some excitement to the corner position in practice and it will be fun watching them progress this season.

Osi Umenyiora and Steven Jackson having a positive impact on teammates

When you sign free agents you hope to get a player that is going to be productive and will live up to their contact. The early results for Osi and Steven have been very positive as I've been hearing nothing but good things about both of their work ethics and their leadership skills. The most recent has come from none other than Julio Jones who says Osi is working out at the facility every morning before anyone even gets there. From Steven Jackson, Julio Jones is learning more about his diet and his work ethic. Having two more positive influences on the team will do nothing but help. 

Rejoice Falcons fans, another draft pick is signed, sealed, delivered and ready for camp. Our last article was about first round pick Desmond Trufant and this one is about the man with who he will be forever tied, second round pick Robert Alford. 

Due to the University of Washington having not graduated yet, Desmond Trufant has been absent from the start of the Falcons organized team activities (OTAs). That changed today as Trufant was in town and participated with the team.

The Atlanta Falcons have a bunch of undrafted rookies that they have signed to their roster. The odds are slim that these players will make the team but who knows....one of them could be the next Jessie Tuggle (undrafted in 1987). With that in mind, this series will focus on the undrafted rookie players that the Falcons have in camp. We will go through them and give facts and information about them and then reveal their identities at the end of the article. See how many you can guess as you read along. If you missed parts one through three and then click here, here and here to read about the first six UDFA's in this series....

This morning at the official Atlanta Falcons site, Daniel Cox posted an article about the Falcons using the no-huddle offense in OTAs. The gist of the article is that Dirk Koetter is using the offense in OTAs because he feels that it helps the players learn the plays faster because of the extra communication needed when in the no huddle.

When we last left off we took a look at the Falcons Safety positions. Now let's take a look at their partners in the secondary, the cornerbacks. This unit will have a very different look than last year as some familiar names have moved on.
